Of course, Ying'er and others still don't know the inferences of all this.
They also had to solve the current crisis first - the nearly eight hundred Qingqi. If it were a frontal battle, with the current number of over a hundred such as Sun Shangxiang, it would be difficult for them to become a single enemy.
However, since they have become the Jackal Guard, Ying'er and others will always abide by the essence of their special unit - secrecy.
Facing the enemy head-on has never been their goal.
Just like Ning'er now——
While Ying'er quickly arranged for people to go and notify Sun Shangxiang, Ning'er had already met the enemy.
——
In front of Xiejiaping Mountain, a group of light cavalry was heading towards the foot of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
The leader of the cavalry was He Zhen, a rather young and tall man.
But even though he was young, there was no immaturity on his face. In fact, although he was only in his early twenties, he was already a veteran who had experienced the Xiangyang and Hanzhong wars.
In terms of combat experience, he is definitely one of the best in Mi Fang's army.
This time he led a light cavalry team from the front army to Wancheng ahead of the main army. His mission was to inform Liu Bei and others in Wancheng of the news that the army was about to arrive in Wancheng.
Even though they only have 800 people, they may not have much impact on the frontal battlefield of Wancheng, but if news of the arrival of reinforcements reaches the city, the improvement in the morale of Liu Bei's army is definitely foreseeable.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the present... In the distant city of Anhui, even Zhuge Liang has judged that they have reached the end of the road. If He Zhen can bring such encouraging news to Liu Bei's army, whose morale is on the verge of collapse, then his
The effect is definitely not reflected by the number eight hundred.
However... Mi Fang and others knew that time was the most precious to support the army, but they still waited for several days before finally sending out the army. If they continued at the previous speed, once Liu Bei was in trouble, no matter it was
Who is guarding the Chinese army? The support team must have been dispatched on the day they received the news of asking for help. How could they wait until such a desperate situation?
There's only one reason...
There was no news from the scouts sent out before, and even their horses did not return. This means that they definitely encountered an enemy ambush on the way, but where exactly did they encounter the ambush, and what was the enemy's configuration and configuration?
Military strength, these forces Mi Fang and Shiren to act cautiously.
Wearing light armor, He Zhen saw the endless mountains in the distance... and the thoughts in his heart finally changed.
"If I'm not wrong, this is the only place where something fishy will happen..."
He Zhen is a wise man. Although his current official position in the army is only a captain, many people say that he has the potential to become a general in the future. The key is that his mind is not simple.
Although he started at a young age and came from a white background, He Zhen had read military books and had apprenticeships. His martial arts skills were as good as his brains, and he also had some understanding of military geography.
When Mi Fang sent them to take the lead, there was no conclusion on where the enemy's ambush was. It was all a matter of blind men trying to figure out the elephant...
Until... He Zhen looked up and saw the Xiejiaping Mountains in front of him.
"Hey, you have been a scout before. If you were to walk this section of the road, would you go through the mountains or take a detour?"
He Zhen slowed down and called the deputy beside him to ask.
The deputy used to be a scout, but because of his military exploits, he was naturally recruited into the cavalry camp.
Hearing He Zhen's question, he looked at the mountains in the distance and said thoughtfully:
"Although this mountain doesn't look like there are many access roads, if you want to gather information, it's natural to go far away instead of near..."
"I see... hum..."
He Zhen's eyes flashed, as if he had smelled the danger, but as the vanguard, their duty was to clear these obstacles for the front army——
"Leave a few people on standby at the bottom of the mountain, and the rest will follow me up the mountain. Remember to be prepared to meet the enemy at any time. If you lose...then do your best to spread the news. No matter what, this mountain can't stop us!"
"Here!"
With He Zhen's declaration, everyone's eyes seemed to be burning with fire - they were not afraid of death, not only were they not afraid of death, they even felt glorious.
Because they were the vanguard to save their lord Liu Bei, even if they died, they would not be ashamed of Liu Bei's kindness to them.
It's just that... just as they were speeding up, trying to enter the mountain as quickly as possible...
Phew - a feather arrow silently shot at He Zhen from the bushes at the foot of the mountain...
This is a very special feathered arrow. Compared with the extremely lethal arrows with tail feathers and heavy fronts shot from strong bows and powerful crossbows, this feathered arrow seems to blend into the surrounding scenery, as if it is nothing.
Fly towards the enemy.
He Zhen, who was rushing up the mountain, didn't feel anything at first, but for some reason, the wind around him suddenly stopped, causing him to accidentally hear the unusual sound of breaking wind.
As his scalp became numb for a while, He Zhen raised his right arm out of nowhere, only to hear a "ding" sound, and the sleeve arrow on He Zhen's right arm shattered to the ground.
And everyone immediately realized something was wrong at this moment.
"Enemy attack! Take cover quickly!"
He Zhen was stunned for only a moment. The numbness and pain in his arm made him wake up instantly. He shouted a warning around him, and everyone immediately dispersed. The 800 cavalry were well-trained and divided into several teams. They immediately headed towards different groups.
The direction disperses.
But it was not over yet. As the leader, He Zhen could not accept the result that he had escaped the enemy's sneak attack. He never forgot his mission, so after seeing everyone disperse, he immediately shouted to the people behind him:
"Wear armor! Wear a shield! Follow me and pluck out the enemy's tail!"
"yes!"
For a moment, everyone took out the helmets and leather shields tied to the horse's back, and in just the blink of an eye, they quickly moved towards the direction where the arrow had just flown.
Looking at this appearance, they are sure to defeat the ambush.
——
In fact, Ning'er, who was hiding in the bush at this moment, had achieved her goal.
Even though she was facing 800 enemies with more than ten people, she showed no fear at all.
In the past, if she had only done some simple training with Sun Shangxiang, she might have realized as she did now, and becoming the Jackal Guard gave her a new direction in life.
She has never forgotten that she is Sun Shangxiang's guard and servant, but she is not satisfied with her abilities. At least... there are still many things she can do to protect Sun Shangxiang.
Just like now.
"Commander! They are coming!"
Behind Ning'er, a person who was always paying attention to the plain area at the foot of the mountain said.
Ning'er nodded and immediately said to everyone:
"We are divided into two groups. You go to intercept the other side's cavalry that is about to go up the mountain. I will lead some people to keep a distance from them and continue to harass them!"
"No matter what... we must buy time for the eldest lady and the others..."
Her eyes were burning, and there was only any wavering. Her lips and teeth were slightly opened, and she said the last two words in her mouth:
